VTK7 build Issue. Installation Documentation needs an update.
In the installation instructions page, in the section Prerequisites, it says that vtk should be installed with the command sudo apt install libvtk6-dev
. However, for Ubuntu 20.04LTS and newer versions, the command changed to sudo apt install libvtk7-dev
or sudo apt install libvtk9-dev
. I noticed that when compiling YADE with vtk7 cmake configure won't find it. It looks like is not in the cmake list. I also saw some Issues which suggest to me that version 7 is not supported. I added version 7 to the cmake and the compilation failed. However, versions 8 and 9 seem to be supported. I compiled YADE without any issues using vtk9 and everything seems to work fine.
It could be a good idea to add a note about this in the installation docs.
I could try to do it to save a bit of time.
